It has been a long time since I posted something here, so I'm gonna write anything in my mind now..
For the past month, I've been back to Indonesia twice.
I was in Batam for the long weekend (Good Friday Holiday) in April for my church's retreat (and mission trip)
FUN FUN FUN :D
Managed to refresh my tired body and soul with the church and learn how to draw closer to God.
The part of the trip that I most enjoyed was the day when we spent time with the children from a local orphanage that our church has adopted. A lot of orphans were much younger than me. I enjoyed playing with them, making them smile for at least a day and getting to know them. It's sad to know that they, as children, have to face problems that I haven't encounter before. They have to constantly think about food supply while I constantly have food on my table three times a day. They have to live without the love of their parents and though my parents are far away, at least I still have one. It is more touching to know that they depend on God like how most of us, including me, depend on our hand phones. God is their provider and they are 100% dependent on God.
They had inspired me to be more grateful of what I have and to know that God is there for us, His love exceeds our love for Him and He'll always love us despite our sins.
Thank God for this experience! I had a blast <3
My next trip was to Surabaya, my hometown..
I went back for my church friend's wedding.
Though I spent only 3 days there, I was happy to be able to go back and spend time with my family and my church friends who went there :)
It was definitely a good way to recuperate after my exams..
I got to be the bridesmaid and though it was tiring, I enjoyed it.
See you in November Surabaya !
